What happened to my Quicktime Player?

Quicktime is suddenly playing my videos in a strange way. I get video and sound, but the image is "floaty" - almost as if it leaves a cloud trail, and the audio and video don't match right.
More Info - I use Quicktime Pro to convert files from .mov to .avi so I can edit them in my Sony Movie Software. Suddenly, the files wouldn't convert yesterday. After hours of troubleshooting, I realized that the problem starts because I can't view the files properly in Quicktime any more. Therefore, the converter says it can't read the files.
Any help is appreciated!

You don't need to buy QuickTime Pro. QuickTime Player came with OS X, and as it's damaged, the first thing you should try is to reinstall 10.7.5 using the Combo installer > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1582
If this doesn't install QuickTime Player, you have to reinstall OS X. Hold Command and R keys while your iMac is starting up, and reinstall OS X. When OS X is reinstalled, QuickTime Player will be back in Applications folder. Additionally, if you have a backup, you can try to restore it instead of reinstalling Mac OS X

  • What happened to the QuickTime Player Free Download For Windows?  Link?

    iMac Intel Core Duo 1.5GB RAM 250GB HD   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Apple's new web site structure detects the platform you're running and takes it upon itself to show you only the download for that platform. They neglected to realize that many of us who support both platforms may need to download from a different system. The download can be found if you search, but it's a bit of a pain. Perhaps if enough of us comment through the web site feedback page, they'll put back a direct link.

    Do you have Module level When-Window-Closed or Key-Exit triggers?  If yes, what is your code in these triggers?
    If you only want to exit the form when the cursor is in the 3rd Data Block, you would check the :SYSTEM.CURSOR_BLOCK system variable in a When-Window-Closed to see if the cursor is in the 3rd block and call EXIT_FORM().
    It would be very helpful to know what you are actually trying to accomplish...since performing this type of check may not be appropriate for what you are trying to accomplish.

  • 2880 size workaround, what happened?

    I developed a large flash application to handle production
    planning for a large printing company.
    The movie needed to span 6 wide x 2 tall, 19" LCD screens. To
    get around the 2880x2880 size limitation, I simply scaled the whole
    flash movie in the HTML code up to over 8,000 pixels and made the
    size of my application elements very small to compensate for the
    scaling.
    Here is an example of the HTML code that worked (with the
    .swf name changed to something generic)
    <object
    classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="
    http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
    height="8185" width="8185">
    <param name="movie" value="./generic/movie.swf">
    <param name="quality" value="best">
    <param name="play" value="true">
    <embed height="8185" pluginspage="
    http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
    src="./generic/movie.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
    width="8185" quality="best" play="true">
    </object>
    I am using flash player 7.0.19.0, and it works beautifully.
    However, I was looking to upgrade to the new player and did
    some testing beforehand. With Flash Player 8+ and specifically
    Flash Player 9, the movie will scale, but the actual viewable
    contents cuts off around 4,250 pixels, with just white space
    stretching to 8,185 pixels.
    Why was this changed? I cannot upgrade to the new player,
    with the new security features, action script support, etc if this
    problem is not resolved.
    Can someone explain why this might be happening in the newer
    players and not the older ones?
    thanks

    You were lucky to get away with it the first time. Generally
    any image above 2880 will cause
    problems and regardless whether you scale it down , it
    original size still remain 8000 so this
    is exactly what happened. Perhaps the player 8 or 9 is less
    tolerant and the solution can't apply.
    It is natural to have larger image, I have been doing
    panoramic for years and good quality one
    never go below 5000 pixels. In such case I will cut that
    image in 5, place it in movie clip,
    duplicate the frames and place each copy following each other
    making one long stripe.
    Using such methods you allowed to have much larger clips. I
    go sometimes beyond 10.000 pixels
    with no problems. Perhaps you could implement something like
    that ?

  • HT201066 Mountain Lion - QuickTime Player X -- What happened to the ability "to select what location (on your Mac) to save your screen recording when finished"

    (It is also missing in the graphic which accompanies the text in this article:ht4024)
    While the default behavior (file is saved locally in ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX/Data/Library/Autosave information/Unsaved QuickTime Player Document.qtpxcomposition) seems to work fine for users with mobile home directories, users with network home directories are unable to record on Mountain Lion machines.
    I believe that by changing the default save location to a local writable space, we could avoid the issue, but the option to change the default save location seems to be missing.

  • What happened to Mountain lion QuickTime player audio

    How come the Mountain Lion QuickTime Player plays audio like having a phase swap effect?
    It's not natural, and maybe this is a new bug?
    All other players like iTune and QuickTime 7 and the Real Player are ok.
    Why?

  • After installing Maverick, my downloaded movies will not play in Quick Time.  It gives me the following error "You can't open the application "QuickTime Player.app" because it may be damaged or incomplete."  What can I do?

    After installing Maverick, my downloaded movies will not play in Quick Time.  I receive the following error message:
    You can’t open the application “QuickTime Player.app” because it may be damaged or incomplete.  So I tried to unistall QT and I get an error that says, You can not delete this application as it is a requirement for the OSX.
    Well I did find a way to delete it, by going into the various components and one by one deleting it.  Now I reinstall it and  the message is that this Quick Time is for an earlier version before Maverick 7.  SMH....Now what.?

    Hello, terrygav. 
    I would recommend processing a reinstall of Mavericks.

  • Quicktime Player states "You can't open the application QuickTime because the Classic environment is no longer supported."  I just installed Mac OSX Snow Leopard.  What do I need to do?

    I just installed Mac OSX (10.6.8) and can not get Quick time player to work.  When I go to the Apple site to download a version that will work, it states that Quick Time Player automatically comes with OSX.  What do I need to do to use Quick Time Player with 10.6.8

    Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
    Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link  even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
    (Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)

    Hello everyone my iPhone 5s sounds stop working.i did not do anything it just stop working when I tried to turn on my music player all the sounds is not working I already check the volume and it is not also muted :( what happened can anyone solve my problem please

    Hey Kirby17,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you are not getting any sound from the speaker, follow this article.
    iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • What version of Quicktime Player X is updated to if updating to 10.7.5?

    Does anyone know what version of Quicktime Player X is updated to when you update the OS to 10.7.5? Currently, I am running Quicktime Player 10.1, but wasn't sure if it would stay at 10.1 or get updated to 10.2.
    Also, has it been verified that Quicktime 10.2 will work on Lion?
    Thanks!

    1. QuickTime Player 10.1.
    2. It won't.

  • Quicktime Deleted! What happens to my library?

    I was cleaning up my computer drive and I forgot that I needed QuickTime to run iTunes. Now when I upload iTunes it prompts me to reinstall it. If I do so, what happens to my entire library? I can't resave my library because without QuickTime it won't even let me access any part of iTunes.
    If I simply reinstall QuickTime will this help me with my problem?
    Or should I just reinstall iTunes all together, but what would happen to my iTunes library? After a while I forgot to copy the songs I downloaded into the separate My Music folder and just put 'em right into the iTunes one.
    Thank you so much to all who reply!!

  • What happened to the controls in QuickTime?

    I like the new look of QuickTime, but what happened to the controls for editing video? I used to be able to hit the "I" key for inpoint, and the "O" key for endpoint, and then hit delete to remove that section. Now, I have to drag the selection tool around to do the cut. This is very awkward, especially when I need to fine-tune the areas where the cut is to be made.
    Are there any tips on doing some more fine-tuned edits in QuickTime?

    I second SwagMeyer's request. He's not asking for any advanced trimming feature that would make things more difficult for the simple user: the IN and OUT shortcuts were presents and "invisible" also in QuickTimePro 7 and they would not affect that easiness of the application.

    QuickTime Player can't open "solea-antonio-walter.mov" because a required codec isn't available.

    Quicktime X is a great little piece of software. However, Quicktime X is very finicky on which codec/file format it can decode/play.
    Luckily, there are DOZENS of alternative video/media players and extensions available for the Mac. Some of them are even FREE. Some of the better FREE ones include...
